Olive rain jacket came in today. I like it a lot. Here are a couple low quality quick pics I took before heading out of the house.

I just looked on "new arrivals" page where you can see the jackets side by side. The plaster raincoat is definitely supposed to have plaster color drawstrings. You can see quite clearly when looking at the olive jacket right next to it, which has black drawstrings. I am still waiting to receive mine but I fear it will come with black ones as well.

The production version of this item has black drawstrings. We will be updating the imagery and apologize for any confusion.

That's pretty weird... why is that? Hook me up with some plaster drawstrings, that's what I thought I was getting :)

yeah, I kinda liked it with the plaster drawstring, I wish they updated the photos before actually selling the product :(

I feel the same way. It seems like nitpicking but really I like it a lot better with the plaster drawstrings.

Hook us up @JohnElliottCo

I think it would be impossible to switch them though even if we got some plaster drawstrings. Not sure why John Elliott would do this to us :( cruel indeed

i fit your physical description and rock an M in all my JE tees (mercer, u-neck and expo).

The sweats are a different story. Ive found the Villain totally depends on the fabric (the gray fits tighter than the black, and stretches less).

which grey villain ? I have the original grey villain and fits looser than my black one.

The production version of this jacket was intended to have black drawstrings. The flats currently on our site are an error, we will be updating them to reflect the black drawstrings on the product.

Please pm us if you're not happy with the garment.

if the sweats are 100 percent cotton, they tend to give a bit more and are bit more lose.

how is the quality (thickness) of the fishtail jacket?


It's pretty thin, thin like a windbreaker. Honestly not sure why it costs what it does. Prob the process to make it water proof and the zippers
